}n8n-MCP gives MCP clients structured access to n8n node metadata, documentation, examples, workflow templates, validation helpers, and optional n8n API operations. It is designed for AI-assisted workflow authoring across Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, VS Code, and other MCP clients.
The project documents more than 1,800 n8n nodes, thousands of workflow templates, and validation tools for checking node configuration and full workflow structure before deployment.
These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-05. Prefer the live repository and project docs for current install commands, hosted quotas, n8n version support, tool coverage, and deployment guidance.
npx server, Docker deployment, Railway deployment, or hosted
dashboard-backed MCP server.For a basic local Claude Code setup:
claude mcp add n8n-mcp -- npx -y n8n-mcp
For clients that use JSON configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "n8n-mcp"]
}
}
}
Use the project documentation for hosted dashboard setup, Docker deployment, Railway deployment, and optional n8n API access.
Do not connect n8n-MCP directly to production workflow management without guardrails. Work from copies, export backups, use development environments, and require human approval before activating or deploying generated workflows.
Workflow JSON may reveal webhooks, system integrations, credential labels, business process logic, and customer data paths. Keep n8n API keys and hosted n8n-MCP API keys in secret storage, not in prompts or repository files.
content/tools/n8n.mdx covers n8n as a workflow automation tool. This entry is
for the separate czlonkowski/n8n-mcp MCP server and belongs in content/mcp.

| Safety notes | ✓The project explicitly warns users not to edit production n8n workflows directly with AI. Copy workflows, export backups, test in development, and validate every generated workflow before deploying. Optional n8n API tools can create, update, validate, and execute workflows; restrict them to non-production or tightly scoped accounts. Template-based workflow generation can still produce invalid credentials, missing defaults, or unsafe automations without human review. | ✓This is a fully managed remote server hosted by AWS; it serves public AWS knowledge and requires no AWS account or credentials, so do not add AWS access keys for it. Because it is a remote server, your queries are sent to the AWS-hosted endpoint; only connect clients you trust to route requests there. Generative output about AWS APIs and resources can still be wrong; verify guidance against the official AWS documentation it links. | ✓Limit access to the intended Canva team or projects and review generated or modified designs before publishing or sharing them. | ✓Makes outbound network requests to the Context7 service to resolve libraries and fetch documentation. Returned documentation and code snippets are third-party content; review examples before running them in your project. |
| Privacy notes | ✓Workflow definitions can include business logic, customer data paths, webhook URLs, and credential names. n8n API credentials and hosted n8n-MCP API keys are secrets and should stay out of prompts, repository files, logs, and screenshots. Template searches, node lookups, validation payloads, and workflow metadata may be sent to the MCP server and the connected AI client. | ✓Your documentation queries and search terms are sent over HTTPS to the AWS-hosted knowledge endpoint to retrieve content. The server returns public AWS documentation, code samples, and availability data; it does not read any private account data. | ✓Design contents, uploaded media, brand assets, templates, and Canva account metadata may be sent to the MCP client and model. | ✓The library names and documentation topics you query are sent to the Context7 service to return matching docs. Avoid placing secrets or private identifiers in the library queries passed to the server. |
